Mr. Augustine Mark , CEO of Ram Media Concepts
Ram Media Concepts, an international event organiser/management and media content production company, has partnered with France-based Adamfopa Media Paris to co-host the maiden edition of the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show in Paris this year.
The partnership follows a meeting in Paris between two organisations on May 14, 2024 concluding to host the final event the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show in Paris in September 2024.
The Adamfopa Talent Quest Show is a celebration of music, dance, creative skills, arts and unearthing the untapped skills of young Ghanaian artistes and Africans living in France and by extension Europe.
The aim of the talent show under the theme “Unveiling Ghana Experience” is to provide a platform for Ghanaian youth in Europe to exhibit their creative skills and talents.
It will focus on various aspects of entertainment including music, dance, acting, comedy, rap, acrobatics and any hidden creative talents.
Adamfopa Media Paris, a Ghanaian media content broadcaster based in Paris – France, originators of the show seek to use the Talent Quest Show to introduce Ghanaian arts, music, traditions and cultures to Ghanaian children born in Europe.
The aim is to connect them to their roots, encourage them to inculcate Ghanaian traditions, social and economic life in their creative skills as well as to promote the country in all their endeavours.
CEO of Ram Media Concepts, Mr. Augustine Mark revealed that launch of the Talent Quest show takes place on July 6, 2024 in Paris, whilst the main event is set for September 21 and 22, 2024 also in Paris, France.
He said the winners of the selected categories of the talent show would have the opportunity to be mentored by some selected Ghanaian celebrities and also have the chance to perform with them live on stage.
When contacted, General Manager of Adamfopa Media Paris, Yaw Bannor Asamoah confirmed the collaboration between RAM Media Concepts and his media organisation.
He said winners of the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show will also have the opportunity to showcase their talents on major entertainment platforms and tour some major European countries for holidays, whilst learning new skills, creating positive networking with like-minded people and experiencing different cultures and traditions.
He revealed that the Grand finale of the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show will be laced with a Ghanaian musical concert dubbed “Unveiling the Ghanaian Experience Concert” with Samini as the headline amongst other great artistes.
As originators of the concept, the Paris-based media organisation will therefore be responsible for all the local organisation and auditions hosting the event whilst RAM Media Concepts will be responsible for providing artistes and resources persons to help in the contestants selection process, logistics and strategic planning of the event in Paris.
The main event is expected to attract celebrated acts such as Samini, Abrewa Nana, Pinky Pecks and afro dance acts Allo Danny and Endurance amongst others.
The spokesperson for Dr. Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has criticised the implementation of the NDC government’s No Fee Stress policy, arguing that the programme has failed to deliver on its core promise.
According to him on Starr fm, the policy, which was introduced to ensure stress free payment of fees for level 100 tertiary students, has rather turned into what he described as post stress support.
He explained that students are required to pay their fees first before applying for reimbursement, a situation he believes defeats the purpose of the policy.
He questioned claims by government officials that the policy has been successful and that citizens are happy.
In his view, such claims do not reflect the lived realities of many Ghanaians. He stressed that while some people may appear satisfied, many others continue to struggle.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye pointed to the situation of trained teachers and nurses who have been picketing for nearly six months, demanding employment.
He noted that government responses suggesting it cannot accommodate all of them contradict claims of economic stability.
He further argued that economic indicators such as a stable currency mean little to people who are unable to secure jobs or access promised support.
He observed that telling an unemployed teacher or a struggling student that the cedi has strengthened does not address their immediate challenges.
On the issue of tertiary education, he maintained that no level 100 student benefited from stress free fees in 2025, despite the policy being announced.
He added that in 2026, students have already reported to school without receiving the promised support.
He insisted that asking students to pay fees first and seek reimbursement later amounts to support after hardship, not stress free education.
According to him, this approach goes against what was promised during the policy announcement.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye questioned why a government that presents the economy as strong is unable to fulfil what he described as simple and clear promises.
He added that there is a fundamental problem with the way the economy is being managed and indicated that he is prepared to explain his position further.

Dancehall musician Shatta Wale has issued a strong public statement calling for an end to what he describes as continuous attacks on his brand, following an apology from media commentator Awal Mohammed.
In the statement, Shatta Wale acknowledged the apology but stressed that persistent criticism and what he sees as deliberate attempts to damage his image must stop.
He noted that for many years, he has spoken for the streets, the youth, and people who feel ignored by society, while also promoting Ghana on the global stage and creating jobs through his work.
He expressed concern that some media personalities, commentators, and influential figures continue to target his name unfairly.
According to him, the issue goes beyond music and touches on respect, fairness, and national maturity.
The musician warned that continued disrespect toward voices that represent ordinary people could have wider consequences.
He emphasised that the Shatta Movement remains strong and organized, and that the patience of the masses should not be taken for granted.
He added that if systems continue to fail the people, they have the ability to organize politically through numbers and truth, not violence or hate.
Shatta Wale clarified that his message was not a threat but a reminder of reality, stressing that attacking a symbol that represents millions of people can have social, cultural, and democratic effects.
He called for respect, fairness, and unity, saying the voice of the people will always rise.
The statement comes after Awal Mohammed recently described Shatta Wale fans during a public discussion as junkies.
The comments triggered backlash from fans of the musician, prompting Awal to later issue an apology.
